O.P. Extending the floating contact features?
I just discovered the floating contact feature and I love it! But I was wondering if you could add a few simple things:
- ability to use specific colors (i.e. RGB) for fonts, border and background. The basic windows color chooser is fine.
- Different fonts and styles (i.e. Bold, Italic)
- ability to specify width and height in pixels
- Desktop floaters for number of unread emails and perhaps my own current status.

you can only choose a limited number of colors from that list, I want to be able to specify the Red, Green and Blue values to get the exact color I want.

I want to be able to control the width and height, and I forgot to mention: also the position of each floater (x, y, relative to the origin)

I want to do all this so that I can make it blend in with my desktop and other system information apps that I have on my desktop

You can do that by editing the registry settings. The coordinates are store in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<MSN_SIGNIN_EMAIL>\Contacts\CtcDetach\<CONTACT_EMAIL>\WndRect

sweet, well that takes care of background color and font color.

What about border color, font type and styles, width, height and position?

and i'm still rooting for the unread email count
